That's the way it usually works when you walk 3 in a row!

Tigers could have been out of the first earlier.

If you are watching the game on TBS... You are seeing some of the MOST inconsistent umpiring on balls and strikes of all time!

Would have had the over if Munson could have got a sac fly with 1 out to score Pena from third. Also would have got the over if Inge could have come through with a 2 out hit after being ahead in the count 2-0, setting on a fastball.

Let's see if the Tigers can get the leadoff double home now. They could not get a man home from third with only one out, let's see.
